Sounds
-train conductors vengefully banging under the carriage to remove the ice
-drunk man cursing and screaming in his sleep
-middle of the night crashing and dropping and thrashing as someone rushes to get out at her stop
-uzbek language all around! and our squakity attempts to learn key phrases (“You’re an idiot! JUST KIDDING!” “You’re a devil! JUST KIDDING!” “My name is idiot-devil! JUST KIDDING!” “Russia is now on its way to joining the World Trade Organization. How do you see that affecting the future of trade between your two countries?” Just kidding.)
-“Amerikanki”, “Rasha”, “Nakout” (an excruciatingly Russian pronunciation of “knockout”)
